‘Star The Winner Is’ Premieres Nationwide

The wait is over. Star The Winner Is officially delivered
the most intriguing season premiere that left a lasting impression and
captivated many hearts over the weekend.

Reality TV lovers are in for an intense 3months packed
with electrifying performances as well as nail-biting decision making which
will all be delivered on the stunning ‘Star The Winner Is’ stage.

With six mind-blowing contestants going head to head,
showcasing their vocal prowess in duel battles all aiming for a spot in the
semi-finals and finale, the season premiere did not fall short with the likes
of 23 year old freelance musician Sonia Ebhota, Joy Siakpere who sings in
restaurants for a living and Augustine Owviri who dreams of being a fashion
icon.

There was also a friendly schoolteacher, Shapeera
Makepeace, background singer Henry Mcjohn and the man of the night Philip Otuya
who had his first music recording in 2006, battling it out on the exquisite
stage.

There were great performances, and not-so-great ones, but
there were unforgettable contestants like Philip Otuya who charmed the audience
with ‘The way you make me feel by Micheal Jackson, made the ladies scream with
his outstanding rendition of ‘Unchained Melody’ by The Righteous Brothers and
proved why he was the favorite of the episode with Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman No
Cry’ earning himself a well deserved spot in the semi finals.

Host, Uti Nwachukwu as usual, did not fall short
of viewers’ expectations in his delivery and coordination as well as an
impressive costume to fit his role on the show.
